Course Outline

Do you Dream of the Freedom of Joining The Circus?

The Circus entices us with the possibility of Reinvention, especially of reinventing and perfecting one’s body. Aerial and acrobatic acts, central to the circus experience, present us with bodies magnificently strong and controlled, performing feats ever more daring and gravity defying! Our empathy for the performers’ peril reflects, at the same time, our desire to inhabit those amazing bodies, and to achieve the performers’ transcendence.

As the art historian Naomi Ritter puts it, “The acrobat’s lofty perfection translates readily into a divine grace..the soaring aerialist embodies that image of freedom.” Acrobats and aerialists have inspired artists and writers to consider their own vulnerability to failure and to muster the courage that they perceive in circus performers.

The Body Art Barn is the forerunner in the creation of Aerial Yoga in Orange County, New York. With a foundation steeped in the ancient practice of Yoga, the instruction of Aerial Arts presented by The Body Art Barn is unique in its approach to this advancing movement trend. Our philosophy includes effective cuing of the breath to inspire deep meditation and concentration, as well as utilizing the aerial hammock as a prop to enhance and deepen Yogic stretches. Our sincere belief is that the enthusiasm of Aerial Yoga will be unending and multi faceted. It has popularity amongst people young and old because it is both fun and restorative. The Body Art Barn’s first annual training of this sort will inform a foundation neutral enough to give you the tools to offer this practice in many different environments.
